Hi Hans,
I was hoping to avoid that, I want keep the tags as clutter free as possible.
I'm trying to build a tag for handling the logic (and state persistance within
a session) of a collapsible tree structure and I'd like to have the tags as
simple as possible since the html for the tables is already cluttered enough.
the idea is to have <td></td> like node tags that hide their body as the tree
is collapsed, but i need to be able to nest them. Hmm... maybe I should just
have a single tag that you use before all trees on the page that just sets
these variables up... Think I'll do that rather than impose id attributes on
everything... Thanks for the reply...
